Hi everyone! My name is George Safaipour. Adversity is something that I faced with multiple times in my life to date. It is not fun to always be taunted, insulted, and mocked at least once per day whether directly or indirectly. However, I can tell you all that it is not worth it to give into those negative energies that rob you of your life. Why do I say this? I’ll tell you why.
What makes you feel about someone who insults you? Obviously not good. What if I told you that those people are, in fact, hurting themselves at least twice more than they seem to direct at you? The truth is that adversity is a test of proving if you are capable of handling specific types of pressure aimed at you. It can come in many forms and many situations. It maycome in the form of mean-looking people, unexpected situations, and bullies aimed at you.
When it comes to mean-looking people, they may show up anywhere on your walks to your commutes. I am not talking about the people who are envious of you in the context of this article. These people may look at you as someone to pick blame upon for some hypothetical ‘reason’. For those mean-looking people, they may signal that you are going through a setback, and you may need to spend more time alone to clarify what is going on within yourself. You may need to find some quiet time in your schedule such that you can devote yourself to prayer and meditation. Once you successfully resolved whatever was going on within yourself, you do need to forgive those folks for not expressing their best faces or their best attitudes. It can really be that those people were going through adversity themselves of some kind. Ultimately, when you forgive those who did not express their best faces towards you, forgive them.
When it comes to unexpected situations, they can be hectic to navigate. Those situations can be a valuable test. For example, you may be driving down a forested road at night that is rainy. Plus, the winds roll in from the west, and it is very hard to see out the window. Suddenly, about 50 feet in front of your car is a downed tree that you started to take note from your car’s dimly-lit headlights. What to do? Instead of panicking, you know that there are no other cars nearby, and you weave around the downed tree and continue on your path. Even though that tree was unexpected, it still proved to be a test to see if you are alert and take the proper action to face the blockage in a constructive way and move ahead. Even though that tree blockage on the forested road was hectic to navigate, especially in rainy weather at night, it still proved to be a valuable test nonetheless. There are also other numerous examples that help illustrate that unexpected situations can prove to be averse to your forward progress, and they all have one thing in common. Even though the unexpected situation may present a blockage of some kind, it’s up to you to find a way out of that blockage in the best way you can with whatever resources you have in the moment. After the situation is over, it is imperative that you forgive the situation that happened to you. It’s also a great idea to remind yourself that the averse situation proved to be a learning experience instead of a burden.
Whenever it comes to bullies, these influences are not good for anyone to spend time in a casual way. Instead, study these people like a book and ask a few questions that help you understand the person in greater detail. Once you persistently do this, you will find out that these people are really ignorant of themselves far more, and they will receive their due punishment by a higher power. When confronted, do not shirk or cry away. Instead, be bold and say all the truth you can that’s appropriate for the moment. Most likely, you’ll know exactly what to say in the proper way. At least one person will understand if you are in a crowd supposing that is where the confrontation takes place. After that confrontation, and after all the aftermath, forgive those bullies. These people may or may not understand the consequences of what they do, and it’s up to you to prove what is true.
As stated, adversity can be caused by mean-looking people, unexpected situations, and bullies. Obviously, there are more topics that can be explained that relate to the subject of adversity. The key thing is that whenever adversity is thrown at you from any angle, person, or situation, it’s ultimately up to you to figure out the facts of the situation and find your effective way in navigating around these seeming blocks. Forgiveness is also a major factor that makes you face adversity the right way, and it is that one path that overcomes adversity. Once you overcome adversity, you will experience greater peace, happiness, and even that radiance of Strivulence!
